Farming as AN occupatiop.

Washington was the author of the
oft-quoted declaration that "agricul-
ture is the most healthful, most useful
and most noble employment of man"
And some less distinguished authority
has truly said that those who look up
on farming as only an ordinary occu-
patton are mistaken. AS Professor
Wrigton remarks: agriculture is
a born science. It is full of botany,
geology and entomology; it is full of
chemistry, from the soil to the grow
ing plant, the ripening seed and The
animal life which is the Growing out
come. There is no more varied pur-
suit, and most others are narrow in
their scope compared with terracul-
ture."

Too Much Land.

Some genius who evidently ..doesn't
believe any farmer should own all the
land adjoining his homestead, declares
that ''the possession Of too much land
is the bane of farming in many sect
ions of the country. No one can af-
ford to allow an acre of land to lie i'd
lie. Unless producing some valuable
crop it is growing weeds; which are
the most expensive crop for himself
and neighbors that a farmer can
raise" Very true; and yet how
many shiftless cultivators are contin-
uaIly "hankering after" more acres.
Far better would it be fol- their inter-
ests were they to sell half the land
they now skim over and devote their
attention to the thorough cultivation
Of the remainder.

fGsod Shelter and G. God Food.

"Better go to the lumber yard and
the crib than to the cattle doctor"
Mr.. John NJ. Stahl says he wrote this
sentence some years ago, that he
thought it was good then and thinks
so yet. And he pertinently adds that
the man who goes to the lumber yard
and the crib will rarely have need of
the professional services of the veter-
marian. Farm animals, well shelter
ed and we'll fed, are rarely sick. And
it should be borne in the mind that 60
ing to the lumber yard saves going to
the crib. animals in warm shelter
require less food than animals exposed
to the cold. Bodily heat is produced
by the consumption of food, and ex-
posed animals must use for this pur-
pose more food than animals that are
comfortably sheltered.
